Global warming..

Well for this time I am going to tell you something really interesting that I founded in the BBC news, it is al about climate change. In this article they say that the climate in our Earth is always changing. The greenhouse effect is also very important for all these climate changes, why? Well because when we talk about cliamte we talk about all the gases which keep us (Earth) warm, it is the greenhouse gases wich are releasing stoger threat. People, scientist over the world but mostly in the UK are searching for evidence for the climate change, they are having many sources such computers, wich help them in their work.

Water is very importnat and an big consideration, you can se when the water level increases and decreases. Does this mena that we could be in danger?, maybe the water like this could cause flooding. There is as good climate changes as bad ones, we just need to worth considering those too. We need to start thinking about how we need to get use to all these climate changes. From now and on we need to strat looking for reasources for energy such ad solar power, wind power, geothermal, water power and even nuclear energy. There are many more solutions, there are many things we can individually do at home. There are many parts in our world that think that we can really do something fot global warming such as Kyoto andmany more.

I think, as I have tell you before, if each one of us make somehting for our world we can really make this work. Thigs like the ones we talked before like taking power form different reasouces that are not distroying out world. That is relaly helpfull for us. Somepoeple are doing some reaserch for some solutions that we can also use, I really apreciate that for thosepeople, and hope that other people too. This are things that not all the pople care about, but they should, Why? Well because this is going to be the same world that their kids and the kids of their kids are going to live in, and it is really not cool, thinking that my kids will live in a world that is full of damage and theyc ould die at every time. So I think that people should really start thinking about their future and the future of their future family. This damage in our wolrd is a damage that can de reduce but is would not be easy, and worst if there are still people that think taht this is a joke and they are not doing nothing for it. People should star to think abour rality, because if they don´t something really bad is going to happen.

Well for the next post I think I will be talking about Al Gore, I think he is a really good and intelligent man, and we all have somehting really interesting to learn about him. I hope people really apreciate this man becuase it is one of hte few people tahta re rally caring about our world. So I think that this man has many things for us and many things we can learn. See you next time.

Me aNd My FriEnds!

They are all really good friends, you can look for their blogs in Mr. Hide´s blog, They are all really cool and funny! I hope we stay together a long time!

How can we prevent Global Warming??

Well for this time I decided to write about something’s that could be a solution for global warming. Yesterday, I founded an article in The State Journal, that says that coal may be a solution for global warming. Jay Rockefeller says that he really think that West Virginias could do something for it. He says that Coal produces 50 percent of the nation's electricity, and as The State Journal pointed out last week, "20 percent of West Virginia's budget is tied to the coal industry; and, one out of eight jobs is directly or indirectly tied to the industry." That way they created the Clean Coal, and this could really be helping to prevent. An other really interesting page is one on BBC news were they say that the climate change requires politics and technology as well each one of us can start doing something for it. For the new technology they are creating power cars, thinking about preventing the fossil fuels burn in the cars. Cars can also be powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology. A hydrogen fuel cell emits no carbon dioxide. An other way to prevent fossil fuel is by nuclear power. Almost 80% of France’s electricity comes from nuclear plants. The industry is still young. If the technology can be streamlined and the other issues resolved then the viability of bio-fuels could increase. Since Carbon Dioxide is really affecitng our world they are making plans such as Carbon trading that is a scheme in which polluting businesses can buy and sell permits to emit carbon dioxide. An other scheme is the Carbon offsetting tahat has recently taken-off as a way for individuals an businesses to become 'carbon neutral’. This means that there could really be a solution fot this.

I really think that this are very helpfull solutions, but really we need to have more reasourses that way the probabilities of preventiong global warming will be alot bigger. Its really good to know that there are people that really care about our world adn are really doing something for it. This are schemes with really good prespectives, and people are really thinking about this and looking for more solutions. For me I thinck that there should be more individual work, because like this only like big factories adn countries can do something fot ir and I think that it should be something that everyone needs to put a little bit of effort fot their planet.

I know that there is much more that I can look for, for this project. There is to much to find out, but the next thing I am going to look for is that if there is an other solution of this but maybe it can not be done, but why? And what are the mayor causes of this problem that could be distroyed. There are also many kids with alot of inyuries that are caused by the climate change, we can also find a solution for that. This is really an interestig project and i hope that all this reasourse in Mr.Hide´s blog help me to find the information that I really need.

Global Warming..

well my topic for TLP was chosen because many reasons. In the BBC news and Google news there is plenty of information. Al gore the vice president, is really into the global warming. Al gore`s documentary "An Inconvinient Truth" has scared many people. This global warming has made people made experiments for the future, the result of the experiments really refere to the UK, they said that in the 2080 there was going to be a temperature of 4c°. This is really woring people. Al gore and China are working togethere to defeat this global warming, this is what he said last Wednesday in his conferece, "we can make this work, but we need to act quickly".They say that this global warming is also affecting more than us, but the real thing is that we all can do better things to inprove this problem. We have the ability to do it.

I really think that these problem, yes, it is really woring people but still many people are not doing anything to prevent this. If each person did a simple thing just as stop smoking or something it is not all of the solution, but still it works. In the US they have started, they have stoped selling spays that are bad for out atmosphere, because all of that is causing all this climate change. An other things that are not really helping are the factories, why? because all the smoke is going to the atmosphere and that is making it smaller and smaller everytime.I really admire Al Gore because he is the one that is making us see the real truth. When I say the documentary yes is was really scaring, but still if we don`t do something we may really be in a really bad way to the future. We can also use things like technology and more things to help. Why technology? Because the cars also produce polution, and now they are creaing new cars with energy so that we don produce to much polution, that is bad for our selves. I really think that China has nothing to say that the Americas are the one creating gllbal warming, because they are really in to that too. It is really unjust.

Well I thinck that this is not enough information for my project, I need to keep reading on what the people are doing to try to prevent this. If I could do something I will, but is that I am only 1 person in too many people and thats no way I can do much. I thinck that my project needs to lead to something more interesting, something that really makes people thinck about whats really happening to us, maybe they don´t care because they are not going to be alive, but theit grandsons maybe. This is not enough for all the people to start to beleve, the mayor part think this is just something stupid, but they really need to care because it is not going to be bad for them, but for all of us. I hope ypu keep thinking about this and start telling people.

PovErty In Our PlaCe..

Well here in Cartagena we do have many poor people. Where we live is a neighborhood that you are not going to find poverty. Derek in Mr. Fisher's class wants to know how big poverty in our place is. Well our place is very poor but in places that are not even near us. Cartagena is very little and if you go very far from your house and you walk with you I pod poor people may take it from you. That’s why sometimes in our place walking alone is very dangerous.

Well also in out school we have campaigns were we collect or money or things that we don’t use and donate them to the poor kinds. In here we have maids, in U.S.A people usually don’t have them but very rich people get nannies for their kids. We also like to help those people because if you see there job is very hard. My things that I don’t really use I give them to my made so she can give it to his son.

Sometimes when I go to Miami and things are things in a very good sale so I bring them here and give them to some poor school. I buy things like, books, colors and so. Maybe when you go out here in the streets you see poor people selling things like, love pups, gums and other delicious candy. Well I hope that when you come to Cartagena we can communicate in a way of msn or something like that and me and my friends can go our with you and show you our city. Maybe there’s poverty here, but really it is a really beautiful city.

Do We Go On Dates? Where?


Well in this post I am going to respond to a question of the TLP where Ashleigh and Amber want to know if we go on dates and if so where do we go. Well let me tell you that yes we do have dates, we may not have them that often because it seems not good but we do. Sometimes we go normally as we go on weekends with our friends. We can go to restaurants to eat, go to the movies or hang out in places like the ones I talked in the phone call such as: el Campito, el Otoyal, club Cartagena and so.

Some dates and almost every date, when they become girlfriends and boyfriends every month they give each other presents. In here in Cartagena there have been many fights just because of girls. Why? Well because lets say there’s a girl and 2 or more boys like her, so then they all try to be with her and start fighting. In here most of the girls date with boys older than them. Sometimes if you are 13 and your boyfriend is 15 you can hang out with him but you can't do the same things he does, just because he is a boy and older so he goes out very longer than you.
